This webinar is the first of a 4-part series on Livestock Depopulation to help you understand what many farmers are dealing with in the province right now.

The relationship between farmers and their livestock is not simple or static. For farmers and farming communities, herds of cattle or flocks of sheep, chickens and turkeys are not only a source of income but an ongoing part of the lives of farmers and their families.

This webinar training gives an overview of what livestock depopulation is, why it’s happening and the current state of depopulation in Alberta and Western Canada.

We will also be looking at the mental health impacts of the current and ongoing research. There will also be time for a Q+A at the end of the training.

This webinar is designed specifically for registered mental health professionals with our goal of increasing their knowledge of current farm-specific stressors and resilience factors and developing therapeutic treatment approaches that work for farmers currently dealing with livestock depopulation.
